It is difficult to come to terms with, but
we Earthlings have been living on borrowed
time (and money) for years, especially in the
developed countries. Now the bill has come due
and the wolf will not take "later" for a payment.
So, companies in many industries scramble to
hold on by releasing products way before they
are ready for the market... looking at computer
industry as a model for this.
Nobody now, and for YEARS to come, can really
cope with the economic crisis and, at the same
time, most think business as usual will pop back
"real soon now." Printing money just puts the
debt onto future generationS in monstrous
proportions.
So, TT pushes a speech processor maybe
because that is all they can do, a product
choice which has the wisdom of offering
an auto antenna tuner to people with auto
ant tuners BUILT IN their rigs.... what?
Rant over. 73,
